Strip FUT hair transplant has caused movement to my face after the strip of skin was removed and stitched together

NATHALIE87
Im certain that strip fut has changed my face slightly, I noticed movement on my cheeks. example if you move your hair line just by your temples with your fingers it moves your cheeks also. I had a strip fut a year ago and since then I have seen a change in my cheeks. Who is to say that by removing a peice of skin on your head that it will not impact other parts of your head. If I pull the skin on my forehead for example it also moves surrounding skin. Is what I'm saying about fut impossible?!?
